Jameson Modern hosts a solo exhibition of new work by artist and University of Maine professor Raphael Di Luzio. This show, entitled The Eye in Time, opens on Friday, October 12, with a public reception from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. This new media exhibition focuses on what the artist has labeled “time-based paintings” – digital imagery that is captured and combined in montage, or collage; in superimposed images, or layers; and in variable speeds. These paintings use all of the elements that we are familiar with in traditional painting: color, shape, texture, rhythm, and so forth, and yet – they are moving images, contained within the frame of the picture plane, and imbued with the power to move. In fact one of his video pieces, about global warming, will be projected onto a block of ice during the opening evening.

This Jameson Modern exhibition represents a continuation of the Maine Center for Creativity’s arts-and-industry collaboration with artist and professor Di Luzio in the groundbreaking public art performance Light House, a one-hour multi-media event held on August 26. For those who did not have an opportunity to witness it then, as well as those who may have seen it first-hand, excerpts from the event are featured in this exhibition, as well as other digital video art never before seen in the United States.

Raphael Di Luzio will present a gallery talk on Saturday, October 13, at 1:30 p.m. In accordance with his gallery in Berlin, the artist will offer, in addition to the video artworks themselves, select stills from his digital videos in the form of signed, limited edition prints. These are printed in an archival digital giclée format available for purchase through Jameson Modern. This exhibition continues through Saturday, November 3.

Jameson Modern, at 305 Commercial Street, Portland, is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, please call 772-5522, or visit our website at www.jamesongallery.com.
